"Three kinds of primary appraisal cn be distinguished: (1) irrelevant, (2) benign-positive, and (3) stressful" (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984, p. 32).
"Stress appraisals include harm/loss, threat, and challenge" (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984, p. 32).
Secondary Appraisal "is a complex evaluative process that takes into account which coping options are available, the likelihood that a given coping option will accomplish what it is supposed to, and the likelihood that one can apply a particular strategy or set of strategies effectively" (Lazarus & Folkman, 1984, p. 35).
